Community for Lavish/Intentional Retirement (FatFIRE for Seniors)
A niche community for older adults who want to understand how to spend their accumulated wealth and time in a fulfilling, intentional, and potentially 'lavish' way during their retirement years, similar to the FatFIRE movement but tailored for seniors.

Why now
Inflation anxieties, difficulty for older adults to shift from saving to spending mode, and a lack of modern, engaging communities for this demographic. The Baby Boomer generation is entering retirement with significant wealth.
Market gap
While financial planners exist, there's a gap for a community-driven platform that addresses the psychological and social aspects of spending in retirement, offering peer support and exclusive experiences for affluent seniors.
